History YMMV / TriumphOfTheWill

* HarsherInHindsight: It was intended as a ''documentary'' film to show the Germans how great the Nazi regime was and how TheFutureWillBeBetter. However, since the end of WorldWarTwo it's difficult to watch this movie without keeping in mind what horrors all this would lead to in the end.

* {{Narm}}: When you're not getting High-Octage NightmareFuel, some of the sequences can be just plain silly. Specific examples might include the ''Reichsarbeitsdienst'' sequence, with the work-men declaring where they're from. The sequence was reportedly rehearsed 50 times, like many other sequences, but the way the workers announce their birthplaces with super-serious, stoic, robot-like expressions can be unintentionally just for that reason.

* SequelDisplacement: Riefenstahl made this as a follow-up to ''Victory of Faith'', which chronicled the 1933 Party rally. That movie however was suppressed by the German government after the Night of the Long Knives, for prominently featuring Ernst Rohm and the SA. ''Victory'' remains comparatively obscure, and considered inferior by most who have seen it.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Unfunny isn't quite the right word, but this was quite an innovative movie when it was made, and has inspired many a scene (and originated some now fairly standard techniques) since then -- with the result that very little in the movie seems original after some seven decades of people copying things from it.

** The short segment with the SS ''Leibstandarten Adolf Hitler'' guys holding onto each other's belts in a show of camaraderie.
